Rockford Fosgate 1051s

I somehow FRIED my ground to my amp (Rockford Fosgate 1051s) !! I think it was caused from running to small of wire to it (8). I noticed for some time the amp would get really hot and some times cut out, would small wire cause this too? Also is this going to cost a arm and leg to get fix, the amp still plays but I cut the power wire till I get it fixed. Here are some pic (poor quality)

Re: Rockford Fosgate 1051s

I'm running 3 JL 10W3v2-D6 in a series witch should come out to 4ohms at the amp, am I correct?? The amp is pushing about 380 per sub (1139 Benchtest) and the subs can handle 300 watts. I know the amps alittle overpowering but at the time I was thinking of the future when I bought the amp and maybe upgrading my subs sooner or later! I'll see if I can get some clear pic after I pull the amp from the car and take it to the locale Rockford dealer to get fixed. And yes it 8 awg wire. This weekend I'm inking of up grading the with some 0 awg wire and running the power AND ground from the battery. I also im going to run a PercisionPower PC4200 for my front Components. So do you think 0 awg would work and split it for 4 at each amp?? Thanks

Also when I fist got the amp(3 months ago) and I just had it laying flat on the floor it would cut out , but then I seen somewhere that Rockfords do better standing vertical so thats what I did an then there was no problems untill 3-4 days ago thats when I seen my fried terminal!
